Cigarette smokers smoke a pack a day, all throughout the day.

Cigar smokers may have 1 cigar every 2 weeks.[/quote]

Health wise, it's about the same, though. Cigar smokers are just kidding themselves. [/quote]

Is it though?  I would seem that an occasional cigar is not the same as a pack a day habit.[/quote]

Here you go. Not safer at all.

This is a 1:1 comparison. It says the more cigars the higher the risk. We're talking about an occasional cigar, not smoking a pack a days worth of cigars.[/quote]

No, it's not, because that would be impossible to do. No one smokes 10-20 cigars per day. It is to inform people like you who fool themselves into thinking that just because you don't smoke a cigar every day, it's safer than cigarettes. There is also virtually no difference between those who smoke 3 cigarettes per day vs. those who smoke 15. [/quote]

Then why don't you find a study that says what you want it to say instead of the one you posted? Nobody but you said it was "safer" so not even sure what point you're making.[/quote]

Really? Could have fooled me with this statement, "Is it though? I would seem that an occasional cigar is not the same as a pack a day habit."[/quote]

You article does not say an occasional cigar =  a pack a day.[/quote]

I don't think you know how to read. It clearly says that cigar smoking is not safer than cigarette smoking. Quantities do not matter. I'm not sure why you're confused, honestly. [/quote]

Nobody said one was safer. And it discusses usage, if you bothered to read. Heavy or regular usage. What is heavy or regular cigar smoking? Why don't you tell us?[/quote]

Again, you did! You can try to backtrack now, but you clearly seemed to think that smoking cigarettes regularly is less safe than smoking an occasional cigar. It's just not true.

Realize that there is more than 1 poster here. And you're still not making sense. Of course never smoking is best but the PP's point still hasn't been refuted by you. We're comparing chronic smokers to occasional cigar smokers. You want to just argue that all smoking is bad.[/quote]

Because it is. You can try to spin it a 100 ways to Sunday, but the evidence is clear. It's ok, I know drinking is bad for me, but I still like it and do it. Smoke your nasty cigars, but just know you're not any safer than a person sucking on cigarettes. And don't even get me started on the secondhand smoke you're creating. [/quote]

Ok. You said safe, nobody else did and you're arguing with yourself at this point. Your own article that you don't bother to read again states "The health effects of consistent low-intensity smoking, however, have not been well studied and many smokers believe that low-intensity smoking does not affect their health." low intensity is 10 or fewer a day. Still nothing approaching an occasional cigar.[/quote]

This whole back and forth started when you posted this: "Is it though?  I would seem that an occasional cigar is not the same as a pack a day habit."

Please post a study that proves your assertion. I'll wait.[/quote]
